The Beast

There is a beast within each of us.
A wild, unbridled thing.
An undeniable force of raw will, which cannot be contained. 
A will to create. 
To play. 
To run free.
To be seen.

Do not try to tame or shame this benevolent beast, Beloved. 
There is no malice in its eyes.
It asks only to be allowed the right to thrive.

To be embraced into the fold of acceptance. 
To have a place at the table.

Don't we all?
